So, that email to the boss?

The one where I calmly and efficiently laid out my concerns with work, in an attempt to make it somewhere I didn’t dread coming to every day?

The one where, in light of a full member of staff leaving, I asked for a raise of £1 per hour ( factoring that, I will be doing about a quarter of the leavers workload now, so, getting a 7th of his pay isn’t crazy talk )….

Well, the boss has rebutted by suggesting that I in fact work less days, 3 instead of 5, to the overall effect that I will be making less money. So, I didn’t get a raise, in fact, I’m getting a lower.

Nice. ( Especially since my monthly wage, to within about £9 or so, is the exact amount needed to pay the bills ever month. Katie’s money is what buys us food and it too, is a tight fit. )

Guess I’ll be looking for a second job then.
